Corridor Mobility Preliminary Engineering Reports (PERs), or Corridor Plans, are a tool the City of Austin uses to assess a specific corridor’s mobility and safety deficiencies, and identify a vision for the long-term future of the corridor based on anticipated growth and City of Austin transportation policy.

The goal of the Corridor Mobility Reports is to develop recommendations to enhance safety, access, and mobility in order to design a roadway that serves all users – whether they ride their bikes, walk, take transit or drive. Corridor Mobility Reports are Preliminary Engineering documents, which provide a basis for further analysis and development of potential projects.

Many roadways in Austin are rapidly evolving due to changes in commuter patterns, population growth, new and different types of development and property uses, and more. These changes contribute to mobility, safety and access concerns throughout the transportations system.

A typical Corridor Mobility Report may include recommendations such as intersection improvements, new sidewalks and bicycle facilities; bus stops, and roadways that accommodate transit.

2016 Mobility Bond Funding

The 2016 Mobility Bond, approved by Austin voters last November, provides $482 million in funding for Corridor Improvement Projects. Those projects have not been identified yet. Some of those projects will be based on recommendations in existing Corridor Mobility Reports, developed by the Austin Transportation Department, and others will be based on recommendations in new Corridor Mobility Reports. For more information visit the 2016 Mobility Bond website.

Development of New Corridor Mobility Reports

ATD, in partnership with the Corridor Program Implementation Office, will develop Corridor Plans (preliminary engineering) for the following roadways. All processes will include robust public engagement opportunities.

William Cannon Drive*

Slaughter Lane*

North Lamar Boulevard/Guadalupe Street

East Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard/FM 969

South Congress Avenue

Manchaca Road, and

South Pleasant Valley Road

* Funding to first develop a Preliminary Engineering Report and then to consider for additional design/construction funding in the 2016 Bond for William Cannon Drive and Slaughter Lane.
